We have handed over seven bankers to the largest Ukrainian bank
The National Operator, as part of the help of the residents of the Fighting Ukraine, made a donation of seven armored bankers intended for cash. The entity that turned to Poczta Polska for help is the largest Ukrainian bank - Privatbank. Having a specialized fleet of vehicles for escaping money is important not only for this financial institution, but also for residents in need of cash to pay for the products they need now.
The realities of the war in Ukraine have significantly exacerbated the safety requirements for cash carriers for financial institutions operating in this country. That is why Poczta Polska decided to help ensure the stability of the benefit of this activity. To this end, the Polish company handed over seven armored cars to transport Privatbank - the largest bank in Ukraine.
- Poczta Polska is a guarantee of the continuity of the functioning of the state, and safe transport of cash is its important element. In war circumstances, which Ukraine is currently struggling with, this process is of particular importance there. That is why we decided to support Privatbank and donate specialist cars to transport cash - said Tomasz Zdzikot, president of Poczta Polska.
The authorities of the Ukrainian privatbank expressed gratitude for their support.
- I would like to express my gratitude to Poczta Polska for giving specialized bankers and preparing all necessary documents that allowed cars to be transported to Ukraine. This help will strengthen our ability to provide cash to branches and ATMs in this difficult period for us. At the same time, I would like to emphasize that I am personally touched and I am impressed by how quickly the Polish Post has responded to our request and thus I would like to thank you for perfect communication, cooperation and personal involvement of managers in this project - said Mariusz Kaczmarek, vice president of Ukrainian Privatbank.
A representative of the Polish Polish Financial Supervision Authority emphasizes the importance of maintaining the continuity of cash circulation in the economy.
- The Office of the Polish Financial Supervision Authority, after the outbreak of the war in Ukraine, identified the need to support infrastructure and maintain the continuity of the Ukrainian banking sector, so that his clients could continue to use its services in a way as possible. One of the key elements of this process is to ensure the continuity of cash supply to bank branches. Privatbank's support by Poczta Polska in the form of transferring bankers is a great gesture of solidarity towards our neighbors who were in a difficult situation - said Krzysztof Dąbrowski, managing director of the organization and management division at the Office of the Financial Supervision Commission.
